Torpedo Mk-54 Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR4849

Metallic Details MDR4849 is a resin weapons set for 1/48 aircraft projects, providing parts to assemble two Mk-54 torpedoes. It is intended for models where underwing or external stores are a visible focal point and benefit from cleaner shapes than many kit items.

The practical angle is symmetry: paired stores stand out quickly if fins or body lines are mismatched. Building two matching torpedoes from the same set helps you keep fin alignment and overall proportions consistent across both sides (mounting is kit-dependent).

The Mk-54 is a lightweight aerial anti-submarine warfare torpedo type. Use your kit instructions and references to confirm compatibility with the aircraft variant and the correct pylon or rack arrangement for your build.

For modelers: dry-fit the torpedo to the kit pylon/rack early and mark the attachment points before painting. Assemble and sand the seam lines first, then prime to check roundness. Paint the body and fins separately if needed, and only add tiny details after the final clear coat to avoid handling marks.

FAQ

How many torpedoes are included?

The set is described to assemble two Mk-54 torpedoes.

Will these fit any 1/48 aircraft kit?

This is listed as universal, but compatibility depends on the aircraft and mounting hardware in your kit. Check your subject’s store options and test-fit pylons or racks before final assembly.

What is a simple way to keep fins aligned?

Use a flat surface and a quick pencil guide line while the glue is still workable. Check both torpedoes side by side to keep fin angles consistent.
